[Nassen0f]

Just got my 70-200 f/4, used, but at a pretty good price.

Im already loving the L glass, and the USM motor

I absolutely love this lens.  Extremely sharp and very light.

I'm still a noob so I wasn't sure how high the ISO needed to be to freeze the action.  Bumped it up pretty high to make sure.

@taperoo2k: I love that 2nd photo, the arms blurred in the foreground makes it feel more immediate and more like I'm there

[taperoo2k]

Thanks. The shot came together very quickly, about 5 or 6 seconds later the teenagers hands were all over the place again. Pretty happy I got that shot.

I did enter the photograph I mentioned, but It's been cropped and is hung this way up -

I've spent the last 3 days hanging an exhibition with a bunch of people from the Oxford Flickr group, very hard work but very rewarding.
